Tips for induction?

Question

Hey ladies! 
This is my 3rd pregnancy and it’s looking like we’re going to be induced this time! 
My two others came on their own and I was able to go natural and unmedicated, but this one doesn’t seem to want to come out!
We’ve tried everything to convince her for the last couple weeks but she’s too comfy..
We’re scheduled tomorrow night to be induced so would love some tips! I’ve heard it can go faster and be more intense? Let me know how yours went!
Thanks!

Answer

Alright ladies so we came in to be induced last night at 5pm! Started at 3cm and started with oral cytotec at 7pm and 10pm, still 3cm and no contractions, so started Pitocin at 2am. Contractions started getting good around 245am and progressed smoothly but rapidly. My water broke on it’s own at 515am and baby was born in the tub at 635am!! It was super fast and smooth although a little intense at the end.

Answer

i was induced at 39 weeks with my first and was still in labor for 72 hours.. ended with c section.. they tried everything to induce me first was the cream to soften the cervix the next day the pitocin and then the foley ballon then even tried popping my waters none of which worked.. i was having horible back labor the entire time so i decided to have a c section but i would do it all over again just to have my beautiful baby girl

Answer

Mine was intense but not necessarily faster. I had the foley bulb and cytotec first, then needed pitocin. In total still had 18ish hours of labor. The foley/cytotec caused ridiculous cramps and I needed an epidural no questions asked. Hopefully yours is smooth and quick!!

Answer

mine was so easy. but I was 4cm already when I got induced maybe that’s why? contractions didn’t hurt any different I was still like “oh this is a contraction” at 6cm. I guess it’s different for everyone. it was actually waaaaay better than my first labor that happened naturally. less painful and took only 7hrs. with my first I took 24+ hours. I was scared to get induced I tried everything to make her come but it definitely was nothing like I thought it would be. you’ll be ok mama! you got this!!
